Tavana is incredibly excited to be welcoming guitar virtuoso - Tommy Osuna - back to the stage on Tuesday, May 2nd at Crossroads Hawaiian Brian's. 

"Tommy the Swami" has a long and storied career having performed with the likes of Johnny Cash, Glen Campbell, and Jamaican Reggae legend, Earl "Chinna" Smith. On third album, 'Trippin,' Tommy enlisted rock/blues/funk legend Buddy Miles who was Jimi Hendrix's drummer in Band of Gypsies, as well as legendary bassist and film score-composer John Piscitello. The resulting album is nothing short of magic - smoking-hot guitar riffs and an almost too-solid bottom end.  Tommy and Buddy were making plans to tour together when the legendary drummer unexpectedly passed away at age 60, making Trippin' the last album of Buddy's career.

​Tommy now lives on Oahu where he runs the Osuna School of Music which focuses mainly on mentoring young people through music - teaching musical theory, composition, and self-expression in lyric, rhythm, and overall music and personal development. He also gives music lessons to adults, so drop him a line and get yourself a lesson from the Swami himself!

Tommy regularly performs all over the island solo, with his band 'Roxotica', and with his wife, Brenda (...who plays a mean dulcimer!) and continues to work as a music producer having recorded over twenty independent releases for other artists.

You can check out his mean chops below on his song I E BO BO:
The last time Tavana and Tommy played together it had the audience on their feet, tearing their hair out with excitement!...This show is surely not to be missed!
